Hi Klipper
I think a major problem for many on antibiotics for long periods of time is that it drives the bacteria into hiding, Biofilms are the reason many relapse after taking years of abx,
I know I felt close to remission a few times after months of Abx only to have my symptoms return after I stopped taking the Abx
It can become a Vicious Cycle, The transition from years of abx to taking nothing can shock our bodies,
60% to 70% of our Immune system comes from the good bacteria within our digestive system
Abx Kills the Good bacteria within our digestive system lowering our Immune system
Taking a good quality Probiotic can help restore the Good bacteria helping our immune systems
When taking a drug break I always switched from Abx over to Antimicrobial and Immune building herbs to help my body fight.
There are so many Natural Herbs you can take that work as good as abx without all the side effects
Detoxing is also Vital to the healing process, Many people with bacterial infections are loaded with heavy metals and toxins, this can cause a lot of problems and stop our bodies from healing
I use a sauna 5 days a week and I also love to water fast to detox the body along with supplements that aid in detoxification
It is going to take a lot more then taking abx to heal from these infections and parasites
Alternative Healing methods, like Ayurveda,Chiropractic,Homeopathy,Naturopathic medicine, Chinese medicine, can all help us in the healing process
There are many paths to healing , We have to search for the right treatment protocals for our own lives
It could be that your healing might be found in another method of treatment or a combination of many
Keep fighting
John
